GUEST,Hookey Wole Tech: high quality cd copies (13) RE: Tech: high quality cd copies 14 Apr 12


Most home PC software suites usually include something like Nero,
or you can download highly rated free software eg, "Exact Audio Copy"

http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/

These 'audio grabbers' tend to work most effectively if you copy the CD
as an entire single 'image' file eg .iso.

Copy and burn at reliable slow disc speed eg. 4x. to avoid errors,
and tick option for disc verification.

An interesting point, I don't know current availability of products,
but 10 years ago High Street shops readily stocked Hardware CD Copiers.

Devices containing two CD Roms. A player and a burner.

CD's were copied on the fly at high speed..
I don't know how reliable the copy process was in terms of read and write errors,
or how they coped with copy protected CDs ?

I bought one from Staples for £150, then not long after the price dropped in clearance sale to £50, so got another.

They're still boxed up in storage somewhere as the band that required a large fast supply of cheap demo CDs
went into sudden hibernation due to the singer getting pregnant..
